This fluffy dhokla salad with tangy vinaigrette offers a delightful and refreshing spin on the traditional Gujarati snack. You’ll love how the soft, airy dhokla pieces blend with crunchy veggies, all enhanced by a zesty homemade vinaigrette that adds a burst of flavour to every bite. It’s easy to prepare, feels light, and serves as a colourful side or a wholesome snack that you will want to make over and over again.
Take 400 g dhokla cubes and gently press them through a strainer using a spatula to release excess moisture. Lightly crumble and fluff them. Then, transfer the soft, airy dhokla into a large mixing bowl.
